Climbing Turns

Answer 2

• To a predetermined altitude, airspeed ± 5 knots, height ± 100 feet

Question 3

Straight and Level Flight

Answer 3

• Heading ± 5 degrees height ± 100 feet.

Question 4

Answer 4

• At least 180 degrees left and right to a predetermined selected heading ± 5 degrees.

Question 5

Descent - Heading

Answer 5

± 5 degrees, airspeed ± 5 knots.

Question 6

Descending Turns

Answer 6

• To a predetermined altitude, airspeed ± 5 knots, height ± 100ft.

Question 7

Limited Panel

Answer 7

• Using ASI, VSI, Standby AH compass turns ± 20° initially then ± 10° speed ± 10 kts, height ± 200’.

Question 8

Unusual Attitudes

Answer 8

• Immediate recognition and correct recovery from climbing and descending turns.

Question 9

En Route Tracking

Answer 9

• ADF ± 5 degrees, VOR ± 5 degrees,

En route tolerances are subject to consideration of bends of fluctuations of track guidance and within the rated coverage of the navigation aid.

Question 10

Holding Procedure

Answer 10

• Tracking tolerance is that applicable for the en route standards for the applicable aid. Attitude ± 100 feet.
  Turns are to be conducted at 25 degrees angle of bank or Rate 1 (whichever is lesser) except that the pilot may increase or decrease the angle of bank to make good the desired track.

Question 11

Departure and Missed Approach

Answer 11

• Tolerances are as for instrument approach procedures

Question 12

DME Arc Arrival Procedures

Answer 12

• ± 1nm of arc and descent on crossing designated radials. Tracking standards are those for the appropriate navigation aid.

Question 13

Initiation of Missed Approach Procedures

Answer 13

• Up to 3 seconds for recognition and up to 3 seconds to initiate climb or turn, or both, as appropriate.

Question 14

Angle of Bank and Rate of Turn

Answer 14

• Generally for all procedures except circling approach, 25 degrees angle of bank or Rate 1 (whichever is lesser) except that the candidate may increase or decrease the angle of bank to make good the desired track. Circling approach, 20 degrees angle of bank or Rate 1 (whichever is lesser).

Question 15

NDB Approach

Answer 15

• Altitudes ± 100 feet reducing to a maximum of + 50 feet and not below MDA. Tracking ± 5 degrees and when within 5 degrees of the inbound track, descent may be commenced, reducing to ± 3.0 degrees in the final 300 feet to MDA.

Question 16

VOR Approach

Answer 16

• Altitudes, ± 100 feet reducing to a maximum of + 50 feet and not below MDA. Tracking ± 5 degrees, and when within 5 degrees of the inbound track, descent may be commenced, reducing to ± 2.5 degrees in the final 300 feet to MDA.

Question 17

VOR Approach

Answer 17

• Altitudes, ± 100 feet reducing to a maximum of + 50 feet and not below MDA. Tracking ± 5 degrees, and when within 5 degrees of the inbound track, descent may be commenced, reducing to ± 2.5 degrees in the final 300 feet to MDA.

Question 18

ILS Approach

Answer 18

• LLZ tracking, left or right one quarter scale from FAF or FAP onward. - Glide path (slope), from FAF or FAP onward, one half scale above, one quarter scale below, reducing in the final 300 feet to DA to one quarter scale above and below, go around commenced not below DA. - Knowledge of LLZ procedure.

Question 19

Rnav APP

Answer 19

Correct programming & data check

Tracking 1/2 scale to 300’ abv MDA/DA, then:
1/4 scale to MDA/DA

LNAV only: advisory alts within 300’

LNAV/VNAV: Vpath within 1/2 scale, missed appr not below DA.

Respond correctly to GPS INTEG, RAIM, POS UNCERTAIN or FMS failure.
